Belfast & Glasgow TV Outage

Fingy · 24-01-2007, 16:36

Anyone having problems.... mines died as has the girls over the road. Have spoken to a few people around Belfast/Lisburn who also appear to have lost tv service. Can't get faults both the 0845 and 151 are dead lines.

Anyone else out there died?

Just had it confirmed by a very reliable sourse that its all of Belast and Glasgow is out and they are aware of it, so its just a case of sitting back and reading a book...

If a passing mod is bored you could change the title to Belfast & Glasgow TV Outage

anyone know when it will be back on? or why its off? or how to contact NTL for answers? sorry for all the questions!

I'm in Clydebank, managed to get through on 151, and they are acknowledging a fault in the Belfast and Glasgow areas, and are calling it a national fault....

How can it be national if its only affecting specific areas?

No ETA on resolution times I'm afraid, or any indication when they will update the message.

feallan · 24-01-2007, 17:20

thanks for that and yes it cant be national if its just us haha. maybe its england too?

this was on another forum:

It appears that shortly after 1600 today ALL TV services from NTL in the Glasgow and Belfast areas went offline - EPG data is still present but no vision on any channels. THe company say they are aware of the problem, however service is not expected to be resolved before 2000-2015hrs tonight.

so looks like we wont be watching our fave 7pm shows ( hollyoaks -

).
